Things I learned today
Today in Project Portforlio I learned a new style of drawing called “Toner” which is using lighting and shadows to show what your drawing.
Before we begin, you must have these supplies?
1) A set of drawing pencils (2B, 3B, 4B etc).
2) Something flat to draw on, or any flat surface
3) Fine tip marker, or drawing pen
4) Graphite stick
5) Paper
6) View finder
7) Metal or plastic ruler
8) Paper Towel
9) Eraser
If you have one of the drafting tables, then use tack or tape to make sure your paper is secure. Take the view finder and draw a border, this will be used to define the perameters of your draawing. Than take your ruler and graphite stick and begin to chip at the stick, in a chopping motion, to get bits from it, and once you got enough bits, take the paper towel and rub it on the paper to spread it around.
As you spread it, you will notice that the paper is getting darker. Keep doing this, until you are satified with the darkness of the paper, also make sure that your line is dark enough for you to see, once your done with the set up of your page; take your eraser and look at the highlights on your reference. Once you are done erasing the dark areas on your paper, take your 4B pencil, fill in the shadows, when you are finished with your drawing; you will notice the highlights (The white areas that you erased) forms the figure or shape.
I will be posting some drawings, using this style very soon, stay tuned
